What are your weaknesses?
 
As humans, we've all got our faults.

What are some of your major weaknesses and how do you accommodate for them in your daily living? Are you accepting of your faults? Are they minor in your opinion?

Admitting faults and weaknesses is nothing to be ashamed of, so don't come around with the attitude that you ain't got none, son.

Adara Mar 3, 2006 10:46 AM

My biggest weakness is anger, and it's a pretty big Achilles heel to have, if you ask me. If I'm met with a disagreeable situation, I almost always feel anger first. I try not to let that anger dictate my actions, but one time out of four it still happens. I've been getting better about keeping my cool and thinking through infuriating situations logically, though.

Another weakness of mine is my introverted nature, which is also a major weakness, in my opinion. I'm very distant and quiet and that sometimes has a profoundly negative effect on my life. I've been making an effort to be more outgoing and speak my mind more lately; it's been going pretty well.

I'm pretty accepting of my faults and weaknesses and honestly try to "repair" them the best that I can, though it's no secret that some of us just have irreparable flaws that we just have to learn to subdue and/or live with.

surasshu Mar 3, 2006 10:55 AM

Ooh, this sounds like a fun place to start posting in the Quiet Place. o_O

Although I certainly have plenty of shortcomings, I think my main fault is that I have a tendency to be cynical. In this case I mean it in the sense that I don't trust people to do the right thing basically. I don't like being cynical or people who are cynical, and so I exert myself not to be. But it seems to be my "default setting".

I guess a good example would be pop music. Thinking about it objectively, if a song is popular it means that (for whatever reason) a lot of people liked it enough to go out and buy the CD. I know this, but I still think "Pop music is shitty, only retards would listen to this crap," while the correct answer would be "I'm must be weird because I can't stand something that a lot of people like enough to pay good money for it."

Also, I don't like people who are really talented/skillful at something and don't realise it. You know, they go like "Oh, I'm not very good, all my work kinda sucks", etc. But I think I am that way myself, so I try not to "let that out" so to speak. But of course, you don't want to come off as overly confident either...

I guess I am accepting of my faults, but I try to fix them if at all possible. I really wouldn't mind surgically removing them. =D

(I do also have your garden variety male stuff, you know, somewhat anti-social, fear of commitment, cursing a lot... But those are not that interesting I think.)

Plarom Mar 3, 2006 11:01 AM

Funny, I was discussing this very same topic earlier this morning.

My most prominent weakness is the fact that I'm too trusting. I assume that everyone in the world really is a good person and wouldn't go out of their way to give me wrong doings. I've been proven wrong on many occasions and it's merely because I thought I could trust someone more than necessary. I am a sucker, gullible, and give too much credit to people.

I have been getting rid of my optimistic nature and looking through people's BS to see how people truly are. More often than not, the average joe won't go out of his/her way to help you and everyone has an agenda of their own.

CileGray Mar 3, 2006 11:06 AM

1. I can't stand being around people of less 'intelligent' nature... you know, when you clearly know that you're right, but you're going against someone that just out of headstrongness (whew... inventing words I am) will refute what you say, even when they have no idea what they're talking about... I tend to believe too many people are 'morons' of the like.

2. I need to be in control.

3. My metabolism= teh ninja shit. I can't gain weight... I am 5' 11" and weigh about 135 pounds. Plus, I don't eat very healty which results in me being sick like 4 times a year.

Alice Mar 3, 2006 11:06 AM

I have so many weaknesses I could write a book, but instead I'll just mention a few of my "favorites."

First of all, I am very, very critical of myself. I beat myself up constantly over things I've said, done or even thought.

Also, I am forgetful as hell. People have said things to me like, "If it was important to you, you wouldn't have forgotten about it," but that's not true with me. I would literally forget my legs if I didn't need them to walk out of the house every day.

Another big weakness I have is that I'm as narcissistic as anybody you'll ever meet. There's a thin line between confidence and vanity, and I definitely cross over it more often than I should.

The last one is that I suffer from some sort of obsessive-compulsive cleanliness thing...not just personal hygiene stuff, but also with house and office cleaning routines. It's very tiring and I wish I could just relax and let dust settle on my TV or whatever, but I just can't for some reason. =/

Anyway, there are lots more, but those are the big ones.

DarkDraco911 Mar 3, 2006 11:08 AM

Well, I really hope no one laughs at me for this one but.... I'm afraid of:
  1. Spiders
  2. Heights
  3. Tight Spaces
  4. Death
  5. Being Hurt

That sounds like a great mix...

Alice Mar 3, 2006 11:11 AM

Yeah, it's a regular party going on in my head:

TO MYSELF:
"Damn girl, you're looking good today!"

"You stupid bitch, stop this vain crap THIS INSTANT!"

Schadenfreude Mar 3, 2006 11:17 AM

I am, as most are, pretty antisocial. With friends I get along brilliantly, it's just that if I don't know anyone (and they're all older than me) I start to get pretty nervous and agitated indeed. Sucks, really.. but I'm working on it.

I let my moods dictate what I do far too often. There have been more than a few occasions where, if I had decided to stop being angry, I would have been able to do stuff I ended up kicking myself later for not doing. The worst part is the fact that I realize that, I could just say "yeah" and end up enjoying myself, but noooooooooo. I AM ANGRY AND I AM GOING TO STAY ANGRY AND NOT ENJOY MYSELF. Aaaarg.

I am also very, very short on self-belief/self-confidence. I'm always "no, I can't do this", "no, I can't do that", etc etc. This takes top priority in terms of trying to "fix myself".. I really do need at least some belief in myself.

WOMEN. All the women in my life are crazy in some form or another. They also tend to be the goodlooking ones. Was telling Sass last night that if I could be attracted to cock, my life would be infinitely easier than dealing with this dramatic DeGrassi shit. I swear to God with my track record involving the opposite sex, it's a wonder that I'm not in the nuthouse.

I have a minor fear of BIG heights. Ladders I can get use to - I'm talking about fuckin "observation deck" heights. I also have a fear of deep water for legitimate and illegitimate reasons.

Tir Mar 3, 2006 11:34 AM

Well, I need to be in control of everything in my life. And that's pretty bad if you cannot be in control in everything, like in work. Like, if I wanna do some task that's within my grasp, and I know that I could do it really well, and it's passed to someone else instead, that's really pissing me off.

And my fear of relationships. Well, I'm in good terms with my co-workers, but when it comes to more intimidate relationships, I'm nervous. Perhaps it's because I'm never comfortable with guys of my own age, or because I don't trust people enough. Or perhaps it's because I want to stay independent. Blah, too difficult to answer.

Like I said: Look at your personality. You have a tendency to attract pyschos with it. (Not that I am innocent, here.)

Don't feel bad, though. So many men seem to have the weakness of women that we females can easily exploit it. Its almost a blessing to be gay from the perspective of men. You're immune to the wiles of women.

Anyways, I have tons and tons of weaknesses. Lets see if I can nail them.

1.) Constant need for control. I think this one stems from the hardships I endured in my childhood. I can NOT stand people making decisions on my behalf when I have no say in them. This is MY life and I don't want people making important decisions for me. I am not bad at management - I think I have some pretty good management skills. I've also been pegged as a natural leader for some reason. But that could just be part of the next weakness.

2.) Pride. I am the most arrogant son of a bitch. I realize it and try not to be so arrogant and proud sometimes. I realize it's not something a lot of people want to put up with, but in my head at least 20 times a day, I think to myself "God, I am so fucking awesome."

3.) An overwhelming sense of obligation. I always obligate myself to everything and usually help anyone whenever they need help and bother asking for it. This really tires me out on a daily basis - I often take on much more than I can handle, but I always push myself to be productive and efficient so I CAN accomplish everything on my plate.

4.) Food. I fucking love food. Thats why I am fat. Because I eat a lot. That and I emotionally eat. I prevent myself from feeling most of the time because I regard emotions as a kind of weakness. I won't allow myself to feel a lot of things. Instead, I will eat food. Not in any huge portions, usually. But if I am sad, happy, celebrating, whatever, I eat.

5.) A resentment of any emotion but anger. Some people have called me the "angiest woman alive." This may well be true, but anger seems to be my only truly motivating emotion. Being sad never gets anything done - nor being happy. ANGER is a great motivator, and it combines with #2 to make a super working machine.

6.) The sense of being "productive" constantly. Almost every free moment of my day, I need to be doing something. If I spend a day of the weekend just sitting home, watching movies or whatever, I REALLY beat myself up. "I didn't get a fucking thing done today. Way to waste my time." In essence, I guess I hate wastes of time. Thats probably why I make everything into a competition. Its also why I smoke, I think. FIDGET.

Theres more, but those 6 essentially govern all of them. =/

Alice Mar 3, 2006 11:45 AM

Wow. We are more alike than I thought. You already mentioned the pride thing, which I already admitted to having, but also:

Ditto. If I could learn to say "no" every once in a while I'd be a lot better off.

Quote:

3.) Food. I fucking love food...
Me, too. I worship food, and I have no idea why. I tend to eat for the taste of it, not because I'm hungry. A couple of people have told me that putting as much emphasis on and enjoying something as much as I do food is a sin. Guess I'm hell-bound.

Quote:

5.) The sense of being "productive" constantly. Almost every free moment of my day, I need to be doing something...
This is why I'm tired all the time, I think.

Also, LeHah - I'm afraid of heights, too.

I wish people would stop posting their faults now, because I'm starting to think that I have every fault that a person can possibly have.

wishfire Mar 3, 2006 11:48 AM

Hmm, weaknesses. I've many, but I can list my majour ones.

-I'm an utter perfectionist, through and through. Which is bad, because hardly anything ever gets done because I'm still correcting it, even if it doesn't need it. Worked REAL well in school with anything that had partners, I assure you. Although I think I did my best to keep it down to a minimum.
-It takes a looooooot to piss me off, but when I do get there, I am a scary bitch. And I stay angry. For days, even when I'm out with my friends and attempting to have a good time. But, I'm working on getting rid of that. hopefully.
-Insane fear of heights. Like, incredibly insane. I've freaked out on the third floors of buildings before. All that means is that it's been truly a MAGICAL ADVENTURE when I need to fly anywhere. Sedatives, anyone?
-I'm overly critical of myself and have zilch on the confidence scale. Not just about looks, but about anything I do. Especially in the musical sense, mostly because I put plenty of heart into what I write.

There's other little quirks that would take forever to list, but those are the main ones.

Scarletdeath Mar 3, 2006 11:54 AM

The weaknesses mentioned here can be summarizedup with the "seven sins". I have all of those (more or less with each). Don't plan to change though. It's what makes us human. That's also the source of our motivation to survive and rise higher.

Obviously everyone knows these seven sins, but I'll list them for reference anyways.

Quote:

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. (My strongest point)

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. (Sass)

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

Alice Mar 3, 2006 11:58 AM

Well, I don't have the last three. At least not enough to worry about.

Now I feel a little better.

Did you know the seven sins are based on human nature? HOLY SHIT. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED that the equation works in reality.

Come on, dude. Don't bring religion into this.

Scarletdeath Mar 3, 2006 12:19 PM

How is the seven sins related into religion? Like you said, human nature. I only know how to call these traits by "seven sins".

O, its quite a religious construct.

Check it out.

It's no coincidence that its based on the actual nature of mankind. Like religion itself, but no matter. Figure you may enjoy the link. Who knows.

But please - this about personal weaknesses - not about God. PLEASE, for the love of all things, DO NOT start a religious debate in here. ;_;

Scarletdeath Mar 3, 2006 12:27 PM

Wow, it's totally religious. These traits have no other name that groups them together though.. I'll stick with calling them seven sins for convenience.

(Note about myself: I'm a scientific person and I don't follow religions. I may believe in god at times, but never a religion.)

My apologies, then, on flipping out. I figured you were dragging religion into this when you mentioned them. I didn't realize that you actually didn't know that they were religious in nature - I thought you were just being snide.

I am sorry. ;_;

Scarletdeath Mar 3, 2006 12:35 PM

Ahaha, no problem. You simply displayed one of your "weakness".

Furthermore I'm used to your "antics". ^ ^

Fire On Ice Mar 3, 2006 12:38 PM

I'm insanely territorial. I can't stand it when people are in my space. It's not even a consious reaction when it happens but I ususally just flip out at people for the tiniest little things. I always feel stupid afterwards but it never stops it from happening. I'm also, far too sarcastic and synical for my own good. Oh, and I hate change. I like thinks to stay the way they are and any form of change is bad, not really sure why, I think it has something to do with my childhood or some crappy answer like that.

I'm also very fat.

Shadow Drax Mar 3, 2006 01:35 PM

I tend to be very critical of myself, and sometimes a tad too quick to criticise both myself and my efforts. Depending on my mood and life circumstances, I suffer from a lack of confidence in myself (what I mean is, mostly I'll be fine, but sometimes I can be a bit....well, lacking in the confidence department!) I also have an annoying tendency to speak before I think, for example, this one guy in my class (who's really annoying, he's loud and irritating while the rest of us are trying to get work done) knows I can't stand him because I didn't look around before I said he was bugging me!

Prime Blue Mar 3, 2006 04:21 PM

My biggest weakness is that I'm virtually always incapable of being emotional.

This and my... hmm... lets call it "lazyness". If someone wants to start an argument with me I'd rather just give up the friendship than fighting with him or her.

Others say I suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorders but I don't really regard them as a weakness, more as a special ability to be keen on cleaning my flat and to adjust things parallely.

nadienne Mar 3, 2006 05:50 PM

~ the opposite sex. I am an incorrigable flirt, and this has gotten me into trouble on more than one occasion. I make bad decisions regarding men, always. I think alot of it has to do with wanting the attention--it's funny because I'm not an attention whore in any other area, unlike most theatre people I know.

~ I am generally needy and insecure. I need constant affirmation that I'm loved and wanted and have worth and talent and ability and all that. Very annoying, and detrimental to relationships. I'm also constantly conscious of what other people think or see about me.

~ I'm either very selfish or I put everyone else's needs before mine. There seems to be no middle ground; I'll swing from one extreme to the other.

Little Brenty Brent Brent Mar 3, 2006 05:54 PM

Despite how I might act, I sometimes suffer from lack of self-confidence. Though I excel in things once I get going, I often have trouble working up the nerve to begin, because I'm worried about failing.

Fjordor Mar 3, 2006 05:56 PM

I have a few weaknesses.
First, I have a MAJOR problem about discipline.
You know tht bright kid you knew in high school who could do awesome if he only bothered to apply himself just a little bit? That was me.
Also (and this may not be a weakness, but some think it is) I cannot be emotional in public, except perhaps happy. I just can't.
I also have severe problems communicating in any manner that is not in type. I think critically, and analyze each phrase carefully, and that is not possible when I have a bad memory, and the words float through the air to my ear, and then are no more.

eks Mar 3, 2006 05:57 PM

I had suspisions about that nadi. Sucks since (online, at least) you don't seem like you'd need all that reinforcement.

As for me - I'd say pessimism. I've said some pretty shitty stuff and lost friends because of it. If my girlfriend could stand on her own 2 feet, she'd probably be gone, too.

That, and porn. That's cause plenty of arguements, too.

Son of Wiseness Mar 3, 2006 06:04 PM

Embarresment. :(

El Ray Fernando Mar 3, 2006 06:24 PM

1) Kryptonite.

2) Cheese.

Other than that I'd say putting things off till I can muster the effort to do them, when I am perfectly able to do them there and then, sporadic laziness can be a bitch.

Azral Mar 3, 2006 08:51 PM

I'm far to to trusting of people... I tend to look at every person I meet as someone who is potentially saint like, untill I find a fault.

it has put me in a lot of hurtful situations... at 20 years old, you would think I would grow out of such a nieve habit.

Nightshadow Mar 4, 2006 02:31 AM

I'd have to say that I'm way too trusting of people as well. Another big fault of mine is the fact that I can become very obsessive/clingy. Once I find someone/something that I really really like, I become extremely obsessed with them or just clingy with them, and I never let go for quite a long time. And the reason for that is because...I have a very low self-esteem. Basically, I'm needy and insecure and I've always been very conscious about what other people may think and see about me. I seem to always need constant confirmation of my good points and of being loved and wanted. I think things will never be right for me and that I'm horrible...and lots more...therefore if I do find something right, I will do my best to hold on to that. Though, I am working on bringing up my self-esteem! :)

Sword Familiar Mar 4, 2006 04:42 AM

I think realizing your weaknesses is a good step towards becoming a better person. If you can learn to deal with your weaknesses then there's really nothing left to fear.
I have many weaknesses. I'm insecure, I'm extremely stubborn and I'm quite shy around people. But, since I'm consiously trying to overcome these weaknesses, I can feel that I'm actually improving.
Before, I used to get mad a lot. But now, it's different. I've learned to control that part of myself quite well and the few times that I do get angry I take a few deep breaths and try to cool myself down, and it actually works!

Weaknesses are all in your head, and there's nothing that says that you can't erase them entirely. That's what I believe, at least.

Claliel Mar 4, 2006 06:21 AM

Embarassment? You mean like getting caught masturbating or voting for a certain president?

Yeah, I suppose I've had that too, and it seems to come hand in hand with being a little "people-phobic".

Nothing a good pill can't fix. :D

Acro-nym Mar 4, 2006 09:01 AM

Fear. I only become weak, in some manner, through fear or anxiety (which is related to fear). So, I'd have to say that fear is my one true weakness.

alhana Mar 4, 2006 07:17 PM

I bet have a billion weaknesses, but I'll just post the ones that come in mind right now...

1) I don't take criticism well. Sometimes I don't read the notes I get back from the teachers considerng my coursework, if I think I did badly. Or in any everyday life situation too. I would love to be one of those people who take criticism as a way of improving themselves and can view criticism without feeling their efforts are belittled and whatever... It just seems really hard.

2) I am really shy. I don't like having to talk to strangers, even if it were just asking for help in a shop or talking with your hairdresser or calling to some office... I never know what to say and how I am supposed to act. Most people probably find me rude and cold because of this.

3) Procrastinating things. If it's something I dislike doing, being having to wash my hair when I don't feel like it, to going somewhere I don't like to go, or doing anything unpleasant, I just - don't do it. And this is so inconvinient and frustrates me that if I had just gone and done it it would have been done by now and I wouldn't have to sit here and worry about it. I have actually improved a bit. I don't leave everything so late as I used to, and I do do the schoolwork and other stuff that matters way on time. But like, if there is a card I need to take to the post, and the post office is out of the way, it may take ridicuously long time for me to actually bother going there, even if it's not such a big deal at all.

4) Can't get up in the mornings very early. Some people are like this, but I find the society has been made for the morning people and that's why I think it's a weakness. Ever since I was a kid in the kinderkarten, it was hard for my mum and dad to get me up in the morning. And it wasn't that I didn't go to bed early enough. I remember as a kid I had problems sleeping. I just couldn't fall asleep. This was all fixed when I got older and got my chance to decide on my own bedtimes and only went to sleep when I was genuinly tired - only this seems to be much later than the rest of my family.

majario Mar 4, 2006 08:50 PM

My biggest fault is probably that I'm way too nice to people. I always want to make everyone else happy before myself. My friends always tell me that I should do things for me more often but I just get caught tending to other people first. I guess my fault is not that I'm too nice, it is that I put everyone else on a higher level that myself.

Lady Miyomi Mar 4, 2006 11:18 PM

I think my most major fault is that A LOT of people consider me to be super-quiet when they first meet me. I've been told many times over that I don't really talk (besides greetings) until weeks or months down the line. The reason why I do this is because I'm observing and analyzing the people and the environment. Once I find a decent person, then I start talking.

Hachifusa Mar 4, 2006 11:57 PM

My biggest weakness: my need to impress. All of the other weaknesses I could list (and there are many, among which my endless self-criticism) can basically be filed under that.

I hate it. I really see myself as a pretty independent person, but I know that a lot of the actions I take (or don't take) are based around the fact that I completely hate to look like an idiot in public. Of course, likewise, my need to have others laugh in my presence - I hate being grim - makes me act like an idiot on purpose in order to get people to like me.

Whether or not people like me or not is really important to me. It's pretty sickening.

I said that I wouldn't do certain things because of people around me, and that's true. I won't go out in a group because I don't want to do or say something that will make me look like a fool. I don't go to the beach because I'm fat. (I won't do anything that involves losing clothes). I've even begun to avoid going out to eat with certain people because of the way I look when I eat.

...Jesus. I didn't realize how bad this has gotten. =/

valiant Mar 5, 2006 05:18 AM

Err I am polarized (such a two face I am), I misread women...ugh, I get depressed often, I really despise myself, I give up fairly easily, and ...oh yes I have great pride. My character contradicts itself too often.

alkaline Mar 5, 2006 05:28 AM

I can be very confrontational when provoked by certain types of personalities. The biggest enemy? Two-faced people and back stabbers. Nothing gets me going more than someone who will smile to me one minute and talk behind my back another.

I'm also a procrastinator, which is the nice way of saying I can be very lazy when I really shouldn't be.

Prime Blue Mar 5, 2006 09:37 AM

I can't imagine how I could forget this: I'm vain like no one else. I can't go out of house before I take a shower and style my hair - I think the last time I had no gel in my hair when I was outside was in 2002.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Being nice is a good thing though, you just need to find the people who appreciate it. When you do, you'll thank yourself for being such a nice guy. However, you should try to value yourself a bit more. Only give kindness to the ones who really deserve it or it will backfire and people will start using you.

Lost_solitude Mar 8, 2006 11:33 PM

I am gullable and too nice...damnit

I have a tendency to be sensitive to almost everything people say. Even if it doesn't involve me. I've been better at trying not to get involved but it still does happen. If it gets to the point where I can't take it anymore, I yell out of the blue.

Most of my faults can be traced to two points:

One. I am needy. I am so damn incredibly needy, in so many ways. I hate being as dependent as I am.

Two. I am a wounded emo kid. I've been through shit and I've formed this shell around myself - and you guys know how that works because you've played RPGs have watched anime and the like. Except that it's something people typically don't find attractive (much to my dismay).

So I'm dependent, but I won't allow myself to depend on others. Stuck in a vicious cycle, I am.

I can't tolerate ignorance, stupidity and authority.

Drexlerfan22 Mar 9, 2006 12:26 AM

I'm so laid-back that it gets to the point of hindering my ability to work. It's not simple laziness, it's an attitude of being able to get anything done satisfactorily, rather than striving to do it excellently as I once did.

Being too critical of myself is the first that I can think of. I have a terrible habit of letting mistakes I made in the past bother me for extended periods of time.

I tend to try and please people too much. Whenever someone asks me to do something for them (family, friends), I always make sure the task is done.

Depending on the circumstance, I have a difficult time forgiving someone again.

Heh, I could fill a tome with all of the things that are wrong with me. I suppose though, that my biggest problems are arrogance, ignorance, and quickness to anger.

Sense of Obligation (too nice):
I have a terrible habit of helping others before I help myself.
My co-workers don't really see it as a bad thing of course; but it does slow me down like mad on many occasions. Today for example, I had two PC's to fix. One needed to be basically built from scratch the other had a bad MoBo and HDD. Now my day started around 8am, as I'm about to get started I was approached by friends through out the day. As you probably guessed they asked me to do various things like, "Where's that win98 boot disk, can I borrow it?" Or "Could you take a look at this?" ._. I don't know why, I just have this overwhelming urge to get their job done first. I wish I could blame that on my military training (service before self) but I had this little trait throughout high school too. Its amazing I could still play videogames, pass my classes, and help everyone I know with their work. I also kinda associate this with my great ability to procrastinate in general. But really, who am I kidding?
Oh yeah, I didn't get my computer task done until around 4pm. For most technicians that fairly bad, time management-wise.

Anxiety:
In short I am guaranteed to become nervous when something important happens to me. Like a simple graded online quiz or something. I think it has more to do with me being far too critical of myself or I think about failure more often than I should. Its annoying, and I even tell myself its no big deal.
In my world, taking a final exam is like a adventure and a half. Ha.

Being too Laid Back:
Now here's something that contradicts my first quirk. I can't say for sure where it stems from, my guess is being worn out after obligating myself all day. It can get pretty bad too, you'll be hard pressed to get me to do anything once I literally sit back on my chair (or bed) and start reading, sketching, or just relaxing. Maybe I'm just lazy, who knows.

One of my biggest weaknesses is self-degradation. Even now, thinking about what I want to type, my mind is going "Oh, WELL, where do we start? So many things to list." I have a very hard time accepting compliments or considering my own work as anything more than average, and I'm very very quick to beat myself up over a mistake.

I'm also lazy. Though I do have a basic work ethic that will take over when something needs to get done, there's no telling how long I'll try to procrastinate before doing it.

Finally, I freak out at changes in my life. I don't like doing things that deviate from my daily routine, and large changes have the potential to mentally paralyze me if I let myself dwell on them too much. Oddly, once I'm in the middle of said change, I generally do okay; it's the time before it that I build it up in my mind to something horrible.

I, am horribly lazy. Being lazy, is the heart of failure.

Procrastination and Perfectionism: I still remeber when I used to get all my work done as soon as possible, but now, that's a thing of the past. I have horrible problems with procrastination, and when I throw in my obsession wiht perfection, I run into quite a bit of issues. ;) Luckily, I haven't stayed up past 2 AM to finish any projects or papers, since I actually do complete those ahead of time.

Shyness: It doesn't really help when I love being around people (although I do like spending most of my time to myself). I can't bring myself to approach others and start a conversation, so I usually end up waiting for others to come to me. So far, it hasn't really been working. However, on good days, I swing to the other side of the spectrum and will talk to just about anyone.

Trust Issues: I can't seem to trust others. Yes, I did have some issues with being let down, and that seems to have completely ruined my faith towards people. :(

Too Forgiving: Aside from the trust issues mentioned earlier, I tend to forgive just about anyone for anything. By nature, I'm not a very aggressive person, and when I do have a grudge against someone, I usually get over it rather quickly. Of course, this leads to problems for me, as I'll fall for the same tricks over and over. (I need to take an aggression class. GRR!)

Worrywart!: Yes, I worry a lot, especially about my grades. As soon as I'm faced with something that hints at a bad outcome, I go crazy. I could seriously worry all day over a simple quiz. Luckily, this doesn't happen too often. :p

*AkirA* Mar 10, 2006 01:56 AM

I compare myself to others constantly. Sometimes I let it drive me crazy. I guess the only thing I can say about it is that it motivates me to better myself.

Jeff135 Mar 10, 2006 02:40 AM

I have several weaknesses, like many. I'll name a few though:

1. Procrastinator. I often put off my homework until late at night (like now :( )
2. Hyperactive. Sometimes I am a bit too energetic and sometimes annoy my peers. I often try to stop this but then it just builds up until I can't contain it. I am just an energetic person.
3. I am too self critical. I work and work to being the best only to find somebody much better. I push myself too hard to reach that level only to find somebody even better. It's a never ending cycle.
4. I easily addict to certain things. Now a days I am obsessed with piano (which is somewhat good because I may major in music). I also obsess easily with things such as video games among other things.
5. I often have times where I am very happy and upbeat, and other times when I feel a form of anxiety and depression. I don't usually know the cuase, it just is. Not serious enough for counsiling or medications, but enough to sometimes leave me in the blue for a while.

A4: IN THE DUNGEONS OF THE SLAVE LORDS Mar 10, 2006 04:22 AM

Lets see here we've got a nice assortment. I'm very lazy if I'm not being payed for what I'm doing like not move from a single spot all day lazy. I'm egostitical and have a bad habit of stating my opinions as facts which if I catch myself doing it I'll stop but it goes unchecked way too often. I can't stand being around people for extended periods of time it just makes me ill tempered and tired doubly so for large groups and even applying to just being in public in general. I cannot sleep at night for the life of me which hurts a lot when I need to get shit done before say 2pm. I offend the hell out of roughly 1 out of every 3 people I meet wich is way too large a group of peopel to be alienating constantly.

sleipner Mar 10, 2006 09:39 PM

My BIGGEST weaknesses:
I have to be perfect I really beat myself up if i can't do something.
Can get angry really easily.
I expect others to give the same amount of dedication in a relationship as I do (i've heard that it's taxing for them)

CrimsonSerenade Mar 15, 2006 05:30 AM

My biggest weakness is probably my over-extensive recklessness. It has caused me to get into accidents on numerous occasions. I completely disregard all well-being of my body, and do anything reckless, just to get a kick out of the rush of doing something crazy or stupid (or most times, both). I think I developed this trait just from my past experiences, like everyone does with their own traits, since after all, the things of the past shape the future.

Josiah Mar 15, 2006 06:09 AM

Procrastination's a pretty big one for me. Self-condemnation is another. Sometimes when I'm in a situation where there's a bit of tension between myself and someone I know, I often think of it all as my fault because I feel like I shouldn't be angry, even though the person very well could be being a jerk. I don't really like conflict that much. You put that with my lack of intellect (and caring, really) for politics as a whole, and you've got me usually avoiding the Political Palace like the plague. I figure I'd only get shot down bad if I posted anything in there. I guess I should throw in the occasional feeling of inadequacy on that note. :ashamed:

And perhaps, I'm too nice every now and then. Some people could probably just walk all over me as a result.

Akumu Mar 15, 2006 06:52 AM

Pity...
that's my weakness. I feel sorry for people that I see struggling with anything and then I go out of my way to help them...only to see myself falling behind while they are going forward. LOL, but that has changed. whee~

RABicle Mar 15, 2006 06:58 AM

Weakest thread ever. You all need to awaken your inherent power of fist and your weakness just evapourates.
